Be Good Natured and Help in This Program for a Healthier and Better Rensselaer. ftlayor Spitler has issued a proclamation and Dr. Gwin> secretary of the city board of health, is going to back it up with the most effective campaign for a cleaner and better Rensselaer than we have ever had. Rensselaer is a pioneer in this work and the scheme instituted last year ot organizing the high school pupils and having them act as inspectors will be conducted again this week, probably Friday and Saturday.

Our people don’t require much persuasion to be tidy. It is the common practice, but frequently some are negligent and some don’t seem to care or else are too busy to clean up. Almost every person can find, by a careful inspection «of his premises that there is something that needs to be done to make the home surroundings look the best. Well’ let’s all get busy and do it, thereby helping to destroy the breeding places of the flies and the disease germs. That is an irrtportant ? thing that should interest every person in our fair little city. The red tag boys and girls will look your premises over the last of the week and then Dr. Gwin will go around and put, on the official tags. That will mean that you MUST clean up. _ Let us all beat the red tag folks and have our places so clean that they won’t be tagged. Let us make Rensselaer absoultely spotless. Remember the two big clean-up days are Thursday and Friday of this week. Locate the hoe, the rake, the broom and “the scoop shovel and get busy.
